The Assembly is comprised of delegates representing constituencies of students enrolled in the Graduate School and Penn State Law. The Assembly votes to pass resolutions, approve appointments and expenditures, and carry out other responsibilities as outlined by the constitution and bylaws. Aside from delegates representing academic colleges, five at-large Assembly delegates drawn from the graduate and professional student body at Penn State University Park. Additionally, the GPSA has five Graduate Council Student Caucus members who also serve as Assembly delegates. Academic college and at-large Assembly members sit on committees to help better represent and support graduate and professional students.
